Update v1.1 Released
.Original Article (March 17): The duo of PS Vita legends developer's TheFlow and @Rinnegatamante team up again with another great release for the PS Vita Community. We have seen the family of Grand Theft Auto Series make the journey to the PS Vita with various ports and techniques but have we been missing one from the PSP era in the form of a native port? First we seen the release of re3 (GTA III) followed by reVC (GTA: Vice City) which utilized a reversed engineered engine .. Then several weeks ago we seen those two classic GTA game's followed by what may be the most iconic game in the series with gtaSA_Vita (GTA: San Andreas) as we just witnessed update v1.6 released Which took a different approach and utilized the Android port of the game and puts TheFlow's kubridge plugin to work serving as a wrapper for aiding in the porting some Android games to the PS Vita (see Max Payne as another Android game ported) Now, that brings us to today's release with is a port of another GTA Classic from the PSP with the release of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, (GTA:CFW Vita) a 3D top view game from the series , Like Max Payne and GTASA this is a port of the Android version with magic from @Rinnegatamante and TheFlow.​

TheFlow has tweeted several hints regarding 7.55 (tweet 1 / 2) but 7.55 is yet to be solved by other, @zecoxao provided some details and shared via twitter see below.
